2010 Château Beychevelle, Cru Classé St-Julien

St-Julien has performed well and this wine ably demonstrates the vintage style of classic proportions and appealing freshness. Dusky, almost-perfumed fruit on the nose. On the palate, this has a core of rich, ripe fruit and an almost-mineral elegance. Highly attractive, with structural, but well-integrated tannins.
